One Last Post

Yeyy leaving tomorrow for our month long vacation. I want my camera empty so might as well post the remaining food pictures. With kids at home 24/7, I had to whip up their favorite food mostly store bought while we try to let them eat what Mom and Dad have as well, which was hard of course :P

Perogies- my kids' all time fave, 10 pcs. in one sitting plus a generous amt. of sour cream on the side and Yakult

We can eat these all day Mom!

chicken popcorn, cheese breadstick and Pediasure

my new fave!

fresh strawberries + vanilla ice cream

3 cheese toast

leftover luncheon meat with mayo and cucumber sandwich

cucumber and corn salad

Beef Broccoli

String beans Adobo

Beef and Tripe Kare Kare

Sauteed string beans and bok choy with ground pork

I made sure the fridge is empty except for some ice cream and my juice stock in the freezer. No veggies left and all leftovers recycled. New food adventures here we come, I am so ready for you! :D

Rice Bowl/Rice Toppings: Beef Version

Corn in Coconut Milk

By the time we got home this afternoon, I was not only hungry but famished! Our last meal was the deviled eggs during breakfast. Anyway, I snacked on Corn in Coconut Milk while I sliced the beef thinly and separated them into two containers. One batch was for the beef steak and another one was for my awesome, marvelous and wonderful rice bowls/rice toppings.

Amidst the hunger pangs, I meticulously seasoned the thinly sliced beef with salt and pepper before rolling them in cornstarch (with cayenne, onion and garlic powder). While frying them in hot oil, I sliced the carrots, bell peppers and half of an onion. When the beef was done frying, I sliced them into bite-size pieces before throwing them back into the pan with the veggies and a half cup of General Tao sauce.

I served it over hot rice and hubby made his special concoction of Maggi Savor and Worcestershire sauce which brought the already awesome, marvelous and wonderful rice bowl another level up :D

Maja Mais (Corn Pudding)

Maja cooling

Maja mais for me, is almost synonimous to my Kuya Randy (a friend, godfather/godmother to Lance and former co-worker and neighbor.) He never fails to bring either this or leche flan, espasol, pichi-pichi and his other specialties. With no Kuya Randy here and my desire to eat maja, it seems the perfect opportunity to finally make my own. It's now stored in different containers and cooling inside the refrigerator. We sampled one this afternoon, barely cooled. Lei liked the corn and Lance only wanted the pudding part. If Kuya Randy was here he'd say his is more delicious but of course, I prefer mine. Too bad we were so full after dinner there was no room left for any dessert. The chicken stir fry and baked mussels were so good we stuffed ourselves so much. Dessert would have to wait until midnight I guess :D
